紡唄 -つむぎうた-

命は時の中を
薙がれ凪がれて
永久の記録を
二重の螺旋に紡ぎ逝く

私は此の唄を
詠い語りて
刹那の記憶を
人の心に刻み往く

Al a re la ye
Al a re la yo
Al a re la ya
Al a re ya …

いのちはときのなかを
ながれながれて
とこしえのきろくを
ふたえのらせんにつむぎゆく

わたしはこのうたを
うたいかたりて
せつなのきおくを
ひとのこころにきざみゆく

あられ　らいえ
あられ　らいよ
あられ　らいや
あられいや･･･

[1] The words for "cut down and stilled" sound like the word for "flows", so the verse carries a double meaning: life both flows through time and ends in time.
[2] The double helix refers to DNA. DATEKEN's implied message is that people are ferries in the river of time conveying genes and culture.
[3] DATEKEN reported that the phrase in the chorus came to him while lying half-awake in bed in the morning.
